Molly & Jim

Jim Rutledge & Molly Brown roll into Hour 2 as they continue filling in for KBN live from Davidson Park for Harley Davidson's Rev & Rumble event tomorrow. They dip into a conversation from Wilde & Tausch this morning about the possibility (crazy as it sounds) that Malik Willis could become a starting QB if the Packers decide to move on from Jordan Love in 3-5 years... Jim & Molly also revisit Monday's conversation with Pat The Designer about why Jordan Love might be just good not great. They ask today's Siding Unlimited poll question: What do you think will happen for Jordan Love this year: Jump up to be a Top 5 QB, or remain a fringe Top 10 QB? They also look at The Athletic's recent QB Tiers ranking that had Jordan Love at the bottom of the Tier 2 QBs. Is living in this company a good thing? Jason Wilde joins to talk about not being invited to Ben Brust's wedding either, just like his producer Jesse Nelson... They get into the conversation from Jason & Tausch surrounding Malik Willis and the likelihood of the Packers ever deciding to move on from Jordan Love in 2-3 years. Also, does LaFleur's offense need a special QB in order to win big? They finish with Jason's biggest storyline for the Packers wrap up preseason & his observations of Love's rough outing during live action with the Seahawks in yesterday's final joint practice! They also stumble into the crazy realization that Jason Wilde has never had a Big Mac?!?! What's the craziest food that you've never eaten?

Jim Rutledge & Molly Brown come out HOT at Varsity Bar & Grill, reacting to the Brewers' win in the finale of their 5-game series vs the Cubs at Wrigley Field! Jim reminds those at ESPN Madison that the Brewers are really just 6 games (not 7) ahead in the NL Central standings since the Cubs won the regular-season series. They discuss why these teams still look like peers atop the National League, but would Brewers fans still want to see the Cubs again in the playoffs? They debate which teams should be included when asking who Brewers fans would or wouldn't want to see in the playoffs: the Cubs, the Dodgers, or the Phillies? They are briefly distracted by the Pillsbury Doughboy's arrival at Varsity Bar & Grill before Jim wants to explore producer Primetime's take that it's silly for 28-year-old, and new father, Isaac Collins to be a leading NL Rookie of the Year candidate... also, why can't we hear Primetime? They revisit today's Siding Unlimited poll question -- Do you want the Brewers to face the Cubs in the playoffs — and they discuss what could still change about these teams over the next month, and where would The Miz fall in Milwaukee's deep starting rotation come playoff time? During Throwing Stones, they thank their great fans who SHOWED OUT for the Jim, Matt & Molly league at last night's ESPN WI Fantasy Football draft before Molly gets in her own head about her fantasy report card. They wrap up asking some hard-hitting baby questions during the "meet & greet" portion the remote at Varsity Bar & Grill!

They play Minute to Win It, as producer Primetime and Jim quiz Molly on last year's top 10 scores in ESPN Fantasy Football! Mark Tauscher joins to talk about Packers training camp and the approaching Badgers football season. How does Green Bay handle their bevy of injuries, and what's the path to a bounce-back season for Wisconsin football? Jim also tugs on the heartstrings as they hear a backup quarterback who earned generational wealth today, and Tausch chimes in on Jesse Nelson's accursed "coo-ing" noise. A speed round of Throwing Stones wraps up the show — who is your number one stayaway player in Fantasy Football?

Jim Rutledge & Molly Brown broadcast live from Potawatomi Hotel & Casino for the ESPN WI Fantasy Draft! It's draft day, but it's also finally Free Burgers Day for the Brewers' winning streak!

They get Matt's thoughts on Pat The Designer saying that Jordan Love might just be good enough that you can't get rid of him but unable to get the Packers over the hump... How much faith does Matt have in Love as a playoff QB, is he more than Mr. Mid Dak Prescott, and why's Matthew Golden giving Matt some extra optimism? Also, Matt gives Molly some fantasy football advice and provides some expert opinion on the extra appetizing free Brewers burgers!

They discuss if the standings would be different if Counsell and Murphy swapped places as managers of the Cubs & Brewers? Stemming off KBN, they set up today's Siding Unlimited poll question -- Do you have a problem with bandwagon fans hopping on your team?
